Rory McIlroy On Fire as He Wins 11th PGA Tour Title

Rory McIlroy On Fire as He Wins 11th PGA Tour Title
Nike golfer Rory McIlroy is proving he more than deserves his number one ranking in the World.  Winning his 11th PGA Tour title on Sunday at the Wells Fargo Championship.

McIlroy stole the show in North Carolina.  Stunning both his competitors and spectators with a sensational course record round Saturday of 61.  Leaving little chance for the 26-year-old to be caught during the final day, McIlroy sailed to his latest victory with a tournament record-breaking 21-under-267.

He might be at the top of the World rankings but after the Masters in April McIlroy realised he was outside the Top-100 in the FedEx Cup Race.  This led the Northern Irishman to re-examine his schedule and add in Quail Hollow last week.  With Sunday’s result along with a stellar record over the last few weeks McIlroy is now number three in the standings.

Originally, the golfer had omitted the tournament as he was afraid of being too tired, especially in the lead up to this week’s BMW PGA Championship at Wentworth.  But fatigue seems to be having little effect on the 4-time major winner.

“Going into the thick of the season, I have still got three majors coming up,” McIlroy told reporters after Sunday’s win.  “There is still a lot of golf, a lot of things to play for, and I don’t feel like my game has ever been in better shape.  So I’m excited for the next few months.”

We can’t wait to see if he’s up to defending his title this weekend at Wentworth!
